EP 031 - Three Seconds of Inspiration - Courage, Action & Letting Go of Regret
Summary
Pablo and Jennie go solo again, this time on what they call the three seconds of inspiration: the tiny window where an idea shows up before the seven seconds of reasons to talk yourself out of it takes over. Jennie traces it back to pitching her bestselling book on the spot when a publisher told her not to hang up. Pablo unpacks why doing nothing is still an action, and why regret, not failure, is the real enemy. They talk faith over guaranteed timing, why time only ever exists as now, and why movement beats meditation when you're stuck. Jennie closes with her director trick: you can always switch the channel on your own story.
